🌟 Meet Samson! This charming 7½-year-old is a true gem, weighing in at a dainty 14.2 lbs and sporting a gorgeous red boar smooth coat! Samson is a retired breeder dog from North Carolina, which means he’s been patiently waiting to learn what it really means to be a pet. With his puppy-dog eyes, he’s got a heart full of love just waiting to burst out! ❤️ Samson is still figuring out how to embrace this big, beautiful world. Patience will be your magic key! He may be a little shy about those warm hugs and sweet kisses, but oh, you can feel he desperately wants to experience them! Can you imagine standing with him on this journey of discovery? Just picture the joy as he learns the art of cuddling! 🥰 This fella is as quiet as a mouse (no barking here!) and would adapt well to an apartment or condo—just make sure it's on the ground floor with a lovely little fenced area for him to explore safely. But bear in mind, he’s dreaming of a warm climate, far away from those chilly Tennessee winds! Here’s what Samson truly needs in his forever home: - A fenced yard where he can play and roam - Someone at home often enough to shower him with much-needed attention - A gentle small dog companion to share his adventures with (male or female, he’s friendly!) - A patient human with experience in caring for breeder dogs to help him blossom Samson would do best in a home without young children—older, respectful kids around 12 years of age are just about perfect. This baby is ready to leap into spring with a loving family, but he’s counting on YOU to bring that dream to life! 🌼✨ So, what are you waiting for? Apply through the Buddy App now and let’s make Samson’s wish come true! Your new best friend is just a click away! 💖 **Important Note:** AADR advises against adopting dachshunds into families with children under 5 due to their sensitive nature. If you're ready to spread your love and are equipped with the understanding Samson needs, he’s eagerly waiting for you!
